Chapter 4238
“It appears that there are formation experts among these individuals; the arrangement of this spirit boat is quite impressive!”
Kai pondered silently to himself, and then he expanded his divine sense!
Meanwhile, the young man leading the group tasked with retrieving the demonic beast corpses wrinkled his nose in distaste, waved his hand dismissively, and said, “Alright, just grab two random demonic beast corpses.”
“This is merely for show; if we bring back too many, the smell will be unbearable…”
The other disciples of the Sky-Shattering Dharma Sect complied, salvaging two demonic beasts before returning to complete their assignments!
However, Kai observed everything with his divine sense. He noticed that while these individuals casually retrieved a few corpses, they clearly were not interested in the rest of the demonic beasts floating in the water!
Withdrawing his divine sense, Kai gestured for Chen Wenliang and Zhong Yi to come over!
“Fellow Daoist Chen, what’s the matter?”
Chen Wenliang inquired!
“President Chen, Pill Duke Zhong, let’s step inside and discuss!”
Kai led them into a room, where he set up a shielding formation to ensure their conversation remained private!
Chen Wenliang asked, curiosity evident in his voice!
“Indeed, I suspect that the individuals aboard the spirit boat are not as straightforward as they appear; it seems they’re not merely here to salvage demonic beast corpses, but rather, they might be approaching us.”
Kai explained!
“How could that be possible? How would they even know we’re trapped here?”
Zhong Yi asked, clearly skeptical!
“I can’t provide a detailed explanation at the moment, but I have a strong feeling that something is off about these people.”
“Additionally, this spirit boat has numerous formations in place, intricate and well-crafted, indicating the involvement of formation masters.”
Kai added!
“What’s the issue with that? It’s possible some of them are skilled in formations; after all, many demonic cultivators possess such knowledge.”
Chen Wenliang replied!
“Yes, it’s not surprising that some of them have formation skills,” Zhong Yi chimed in.
“Regardless, it’s wise for us to stay alert and cautious. We should inform everyone to prepare themselves.”
Kai knew he lacked concrete evidence to support his suspicions about their intentions, so he couldn’t rely solely on his gut feelings!
If he turned out to be mistaken, it would mean misinterpreting goodwill as malice!
“Understood, I’ll make sure everyone is on high alert.”
Chen Wenliang nodded in agreement!
After briefing the group, Kai, along with Chen Wenliang and Zhong Yi, made their way toward the deck!
They needed to see firsthand how many demonic beast corpses had been retrieved!
However, upon reaching the cabin door, they were confronted by two cultivators!
“Now that the stormy seas have passed, there’s no longer any danger. Why can’t you let us access the deck?”
“Are you implying we have ulterior motives by blocking our way?”
Chen Wenliang questioned the two cultivators!
Having been warned by Kai, Chen Wenliang was on high alert!
“President Chen, my sincerest apologies, but we are following Boss Liu’s orders, and we must adhere to them.”
One of the cultivators responded!
“That may be Boss Liu’s directive, but it’s not ours. We shouldn’t be restricted like this; it’s too cramped in here, and we need some fresh air on the deck!”
Zhong Yi retorted, clearly irritated and ready to push past them!
The two cultivators, however, were adamant about blocking their way, leading to a heated exchange!
Kai observed the unfolding situation quietly, choosing not to intervene; he was curious to see how Boss Liu would handle this conflict!
“Enough! How can you treat your guests with such disrespect?”
Elder Liu arrived, his voice booming as he reprimanded the two cultivators!
“Boss Liu, we were just following orders to prevent them from going to the deck, which resulted in this confrontation!”
One of the cultivators explained!
“Boss Liu, while we greatly appreciate your assistance, we cannot have our freedom restricted, can we?”
“We simply wish to go to the deck for some air; why do you still insist on stopping us?”
Chen Wenliang demanded with evident frustration!
